Parramatta star Tepai Moeroa could be headed back to rugby with reports the former schoolboy star is close to signing on to play the 15-man game.

Moeroa has been inundated by offers from Super Rugby clubs every time he comes off contract but this time it's said the Eels star is seriously considering switching codes.

According to News Corp, the 23-year-old could jump ship at the end of the year with the Waratahs preparing to table him a huge offer.

Moeroa was a schoolboy rugby star and was educated at Sydney's Newington College and who played two years of Australian Schoolboy rugby and was part of Australia’s silver medal-winning Sevens team at the 2013 Youth Olympics in Sydney.

The Parramatta star played centre in rugby but was switched to the forwards in league, playing in the back row when he first came on the scene in 2014, but now has been moved into the front row in recent years.

Moeroa has capped 101 first-grade games since his debut in 2014 with the Eels, starting in their back row, but has recently played through the middle of the field.
